OP,

Don't even bother responding to these hicks.

This website has gone downhill fast.

The past four fucking years, all the hillbillies here bitched about a black man in the white house but didn't bother to hold the last fuckwad (bush) accountable for his unpaid for wars and damage to our constitution.

That is why the world has more respect for dung beetles than they do for the "American Conservative."

What is funny is you are right on.

By the next election, white people will OFFICIALLY be the minority voting group - the brown people will outnumber them!

Fucking yah! Bring that on. The GOP is a piece of shit organization that loves to take away our rights and fucking start war after war. The DEA started under Republicans.

The Patriot Act, again....fucking republicans.

Every time you see your local "cops" buying an armored tank, thank the local conservatards.

These people love to preach freedom, then vote for the fucking party that takes it away!!!!????

How do these fucking people live with themselves?

Move to Saudi Arabia if you want to live like a Romney Administration.

Watching people argue over bi-partisan politics is like watching rats in a maze. It's funny, but sad at the same time.

It is very sad that people are spending their time on politics when the end of the world as we know it is upon us. The great, world wide quake will trump the presidential race and all other politics on the planet.

If the republicans don't back off the social issues and stop worrying about what people do in their bedrooms and bodies I do agree it will just become a fridge religious nut bag party hell it's close to that now.

I think the republican party will be replaced by a fiscally conservative and socially liberal party in our lifetime.

you all have immigrated HERE - some legally, many illegally for a better life bc you couldnt stand said commie life in that respective country.

you came here for jobsyou came here for medicalyou came here for political asylumyou came here for freedoms you didnt have

then when youse fuckin came here - you all pontificated that socialist/commie life you fuckin left!

demanding the freebiessucking the life-force out of our financial foundationplaying the race card to get aheadhiding behind affirmative action to take our jobsghetto'd up our neighborhoods and projects to where they resembled your former country

some of you, imo - were funded by the tptb to come here and do exactly that - the change agents - to demoralize, desensitize & demobilize our country.

the plaque at the base of the statue of liberty shouldve read - GO THE FUCK BACK TO FUCKATANIA!

I hate republicans as much as anybody, but they can't be accused of prying into your bedroom. Republicans have already given up on most serious social issues. And when they are so-called "worrying about what people do in their bedrooms", it for fiscal reasons (i.e. they don't want to pay for what goes on in your bedroom).

huh? They like illegals they just want to keep them illegal so they don't count. Don't count as humans, don't count as taxpayers(TU IRS for your workaround on this one), they don't have to pay health insurance, etc.

Close the fuckin doors and fix the problem; that is the only way to solve the issue.

The God's honest truth that this forum cannot face - which is why you're about to see the spittle of hatred slung at you from all sides. They are going down squealing for they know they are on the wrong side of history. Gasping their last feeble breath!

I don't understand this. There are plenty of white and asian, and some hispanic, people here who will vote Republican. Almost no blacks will, but that's still plenty to win. And we are still having babies.

A "muscular angry racist" Romney administration is not how he would be, but if he were, there would be plenty of support from the US people who are tired of being discriminated against by legal and hidden affirmative action, ridiculous immigration policies, etc.

heard that Brazil exports a lot of nuts...The Republicans have been around longer than your banana republic of a country, OP. Will be around awhile longer.Not that I care, paticullarly, just correcting your misinfo.Stick to swinging from trees or whatever you guys do down there
